fix(cli): include project + cwd in demo seeder observe payload (closes #229)

[rohitg00]

Closes #229.

What

npx @agentmemory/agentmemory demo was silently seeding 0 observations because the per-observation POST to /agentmemory/observe omitted the project and cwd fields that api::observe requires.

▲  observe failed for Write: 400 Bad Request — {"error":"hookType, sessionId, project, cwd, and timestamp are required strings"}
... (one per observation)
◇  Seeded 0 observations across 3 sessions

The three smart-search queries that follow then returned 0 hits, defeating the point of the demo.

Fix

Two-line addition to src/cli.ts::seedDemoSession. project was already a function parameter, so no plumbing was needed. cwd is set equal to project for the demo (matches what session/start and session/end already do in the same function).

Test plan

• Run npx -y @agentmemory/agentmemory in one terminal.
• Run npx -y @agentmemory/agentmemory demo in another. Should see Seeded 9 observations across 3 sessions (3 sessions × 3 obs each).
• Re-run the smart-search queries the demo prints; should now return real hits.

Credit to @seishonagon for the precise root-cause analysis in #229.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request adds project and cwd fields to the JSON payload sent to the /agentmemory/observe endpoint during demo session seeding. These fields are required by the observe API but were previously omitted, causing 400 Bad Request errors. The fix augments each observation posted by seedDemoSession with project context without requiring additional plumbing.

Poem

🐰 Two fields take their rightful place,
In payloads sent through cyberspace,
No more 400s in the demo's grace,
Project and cwd set the pace! 🎯
